Franklin doctor disputes suspended license

Tuesday

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire pediatrician is disputing allegations that he prescribed large amounts of oxycodone pills to patients and that his conduct with patients was questionable.

The New Hampshire Board of Medicine recently suspended the license of Dr. Mark Weinreb of Franklin. He's accused of prescribing a teenager more than 2,000 pills over 11 months. Weinreb tells the Concord Monitor http://bit.ly/zUlsu3 he prescribed two a day and the teenager did not have all the pills at once.

The board said another patient was prescribed more than 1,200 pills over 10 months. Weinreb said he only prescribed one pill a night.

The board also accused Weinreb of unprofessional conduct with patients on Facebook, which he denies. He said his suspension was triggered by his restraining order against a teen over threatening conduct.
